How to Stay Cool Without Spending a Lot on Air Conditioner Service

08/19/2015

Here in Boynton Beach, we’re hitting the hottest
months of the summer sun. This also means that you’re searching
for as many low-cost ways to stay cool as
possible, even air conditioner service. Getting full use of your pool pass is great,
but sometimes you just want to be able to chill in your
home, too. It may be the hottest time of the year, but that
doesn’t mean you must spend exorbitant
amounts on your cooling bills.

Your HVAC pros at A2Z Air Inc are
here to provide a couple tips on how to fully utilize your AC.

Set your programmable
thermostat. If you’re not using all
your programmable thermostat has to provide, you’re
missing out on potential savings. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy found
that you may save up to 10 percent a year on heating and
cooling just by programming your thermostat back 7-10
degrees for 8 hours a day. Set your thermostat to cool
less when you’re away during the day and arrange
for it to turn it back on around the time you arrive home.

Use fans to help
circulate the air. Ceiling fans circulate the air in a room and help boost
the effect of your air conditioner. When a ceiling fan is utilized while the air conditioner is operating, you can
actually raise the temperature on your thermostat a
couple degrees without hurting your comfort.

Keep curtains and
blinds closed. A lot of heat can get in to your home
through your windows, so make certain that your curtains,
blinds and shades are closed during the hot afternoon hours. Even cutting
down on the sunlight that comes into your home from noon to 5 p.m. can help
keep your home a bit cooler and take the workload off your AC.

Set up an air
conditioner service appointment. We couldn’t let this one slip by, but for a
legitimate reason. Regular maintenance on your HVAC equipment can
help make sure it runs at top efficiency when it needs to.
Plus, the last thing you want in Boynton Beach in August is for the AC to stop working, and an air conditioner service visit can also identify
small fixes before they become huge problems.

Consider energy
efficiency. Given that we’re almost through the
summer months, you’re probably not looking to
purchase a new AC right now. But when you are ready to get rid
of your equipment, look for Energy Star® certification and high
SEER ratings, which can help you save hundreds of dollars a year on cooling
costs.

While you can’t control the climate
in Boynton Beach, you can control the comfort of your home. And with these
nuggets, you could even save a few dollars
while staying cool this summer. If your system just can’t compete, call
